Make Your Own Belt Holder

I recently moved a desk that was in my toy room (not my downstairs toy closet, I'm talking about my upstairs toy room, which I plan on sharing with you) into his room and brought his dresser into my other boys' room. Leaving NO more room for a dresser in here.

That was okay with me, because I had a PLAN for his clothing. They are now in his closet, on a bookshelf, that was also moved from the toy room. I still have to get the bins to store his clothing, BUT I know exactly what I want and will definitely share his clothing storage soon.

I wanted to create something to hang his belts on, and stumbled upon THIS POST over at Dittle Dattle. I believe it's only proper to give credit where credit is due and I'll tell you, after seeing her boys belt holder, I was inspired!!

Here's the Belt Holder that I created:

Again, giving credit where credit is due, I must tell you: I knew that I wanted a board and hooks and paper and mod podge, BUT I wanted something more than just the word "Belts" on the board.

So I, like I often do, called my mother and she reminded me of the "Armor of God" scripture verse and that it talks about the belt of truth. I went over to Bible Gateway and looked up the verse. It's SO perfect!! NOW, as my eleven year old gets dressed, he can reach for a belt and see this. A wonderful reminder each morning!!

Want to make one too? It's SO EASY!! Here's the tutorial:

Get a plain wooden board from any craft store,

or maybe you have some extra scraps of wood kicking around.

Paint the edges of the board.

After it dries, trim a piece of scrapbook paper to fit the front of the board...

... and using mod podge, glue the paper on.

I used a brown stamp pad and inked the edges a bit, to give it a little more antique look.
